q deformation of radial problems: The Simple harmonic oscillator in 2-D

The possibility of q-deformation of known exactly solvable quantum mechanical models is considered via the dynamical symmetry of the radial problem. The algebraic structure of the D-dimensional simple harmonic oscillator is analysed from this point of view. In the two-dimensional case, q-deformed bosons are introduced for the radial degrees of freedom, which together with the standard angular operators yield the so(2)(+)so q (2,1) dynamical algebra. The corresponding Hilbert space is identified and possible q-deformed Hamiltonians described.The possibility of q-deformation of known exactly solvable quantum mechanical models is considered via the dynamical symmetry of the radial problem.

Rationally-extended radial harmonic oscillator in a position-dependent mass background

Christiane Quesne

We show that the radial harmonic oscillator problem in the position-dependent mass background of the type $m(α;r) = (1+αr^2)^{-2}$ , $α>0$ , can be solved by using a point canonical transformation mapping the corresponding Schrödinger equation onto that of the Pöschl-Teller I potential with constant mass. The radial harmonic oscillator problem with position-dependent mass is shown to exhibit a deformed shape invariance property in a deformed supersymmetric framework. The inverse point canonical transformation then provides some exactly-solvable rational extensions of the radial harmonic oscillator with position-dependent mass associated with $X_m$ -Jacobi exceptional orthogonal polynomials of type I, II, or III. The extended potentials of type I and II are proved to display deformed shape invariance. The spectrum and wavefunctions of the radial harmonic oscillator potential and its extensions are shown to go over to well-known results when the deforming parameter $α$ goes to zero.We show that the radial harmonic oscillator problem in the position-dependent mass background of the type $m(α;r) = (1+αr^2)^{-2}$, $α>0$, can be solved by using a point canonical transformation mapping the corresponding Schrödinger equation onto that of the Pöschl-Teller I potential with constant mass.
